I had a roomate at MIT who wasted great intelligence constantly “burnin’” as he called. Unmarried, lives with his parents, adn works for his uncle or something now as a glorified salesman.

I could see the motivation in him slowly slip away.
Regardless, that was his problem then, and his problem now.
I’ve heard it argued that by ceasing spending money on the WOD and taxing the heck out of them, the budget could be easily balanced. (Not to mention new income tax that comes on line from producers.)
Works for me.
